The Bucks couldn't even beat the Pacers, 76ers or whatever average team to make the playoffs. What makes people all of a sudden think they can beat a really good Bulls sans Rose team?

The Bulls needed last second shot by Rose to beat us the last time we played. We lost close games to Knicks or Pacers too. Our main problem was that we didn't know how to close games in clutch. The Bulls were up what 12 when Rose was injured. You don't think we would be that close if we played against them? You are clueless if you do.

Don't they play defense with their arms anymore in basketball? Hinrich was standing right there on that lob to Bradley by Rondo and to Garnett get a hand up Kirk!

Guys beat teams backdoor and do not use their arms to defend and block passing lanes and lobs. Nice pass by Rondo and alert back cut by Bradley who will become a man after these playoffs are over....

We don't even win a game.

Boston needs to blow this team up after the season and get someone who can run with Rondo and change this team up....this is the Celtics Last Stand...

I am lookling at them now and this is a team with the spirit to say 'lets make one more run' and we are done.And they are...

If Jeff Green can come back with Bradley and they can somehow get Rivers' kid and move Pierce and Allen and Garnett and start over, they will be an ok team down the road.

Post trade we won one game against a team above .500. Not a team as good as the Bulls, anyone over .500. The Bulls even without Rose were on pace to be a 40+ win team. We would've been absolutely stomped in 4 games.

Paul Pierce trying to shoot out of the slump. Boston still wins this series in 5 games

We lost when we played against good centers. Hibbert, Chandler, Gasol. Noah is nice role player but he is not going to be dominant at offense. You can put even Udoh on Noah and get away with that because Noah doesn't use his size to score on you.

If we got #8 seed I honestly belaive that we would have good chance to play in eastern conference finals against Miami. All of EC teams with good centers (Indiana and New York) will be eliminated by Miami. As a #8 we would play against Bulls without Rose and then against Hawks or Celtics. I am so upset that we didn't make it

Quentin Richardson's career field goal percentage is 39%.

I'm sure we can expect him on the team next year.

That's probably around where Gooden's trade value is at.

Maybe this ECF team should've beaten Washington then, lol

Jesus dude lay off the crack. We lost against good teams. Period. You can spin it however you'd like. Truth is Rose was unavailable a lot this season and the Bulls were still a very good team. Post trade at full strength we literally lost every game we played against a good team minus one fluke game.

:lol:

at Eastern Conference Finals

I like Rondo as a player a lot, but he's stupid. This is nothing really new. Given this is the playoffs, though, it's supremely stupid.

you can go to any pickup game and find people that can make jumpers, you can't find many people that can do what those 2 can do 8-)

Memphis is by far my favorite team in the playoffs this year.

Here is classic Sigra. On page 5 when teams playing in the regular season was brought up he says.

Sigra wrote:
Comparing regular season with playoffs? If regular season is all we need to know than we are better than Miami right?

Regular season is completely different sport comparing to playoffs in NBA.

However, when posters say Bulls kill us in the playoffs look below how he uses the regular season matchup to try and make his point.

This is why he is known as the king of the flip flops. So which is it Sgra?
